Taffetta

About me

Taffettà

My dolls and animals are made to my own original designs and patterns, begin life on my sketch pad and are then transformed into paper templates.
Each is unique, as I like to work spontaneously, choosing fabrics, colour palette and particular details from my collection of natural and vintage materials and trimmings.
Working in this way means that fate takes a hand, and their little personalities unfold and develop as they grow.
I take pride in their construction - you won't find any puckered, lumpy seams!
All their faces (including shoes and hair, where applicable) are hand embroidered.
I began sewing as a child, making clothes to personalise my dolls, and then progressing to making soft furnishings and garments for myself and friends - everything from curtains to coats!
The Italian Connection:
Having lived in Italy for over 20 years, I've been inspired by the beautiful fabrics and needlework made there - the scrupulous attention to detail and meticulousness of construction are my philosophy for Taffettà.
I hope you'll love my little dolls and animals as much as I love making them - they're created to make memories!
